Hope the greenhouse repairs can be made today!
We had some ‘big’ winds the other day when cold front(s) came through behind what was supposed to be “severe” weather with several “rotational tracks” predicted. Fortunately, nothing ‘rotational’ occurred in our area.
The big fear (for me) was our cedar trees. We have some really old ones and the roots tend to be shallow - we’ve had them blow over in the past. The ground is super saturated and soft, which makes it much easier for trees to go over - at least the non-cedar/pines are not very ‘leafed out’ yet so there’s currently less wind resistance, but that situation won’t last long. Again, fortune was with us & we did not lose any trees; however, I drove by a house maybe a quarter mile away & he’s got a huge pine in his side yard that went over (uprooted), big enough to get out into the road. One the way back, I could see the back yard & he’s got a couple of cedar trees uprooted (I’m guessing they hit his house, too - very close to the house). He was out there with a chainsaw, working on the cedars - he’d already cut the pine off/back from the road.
Spring is a wonderful time of year, but the severe/violent weather that can come with it is not something I look forward to. No yard work today - too wet/muddy still. I cannot recall it ever being so wet around here.
How high was the wind speed? I have a couple of cedars very close to the house and recently had 50 mile an hour wind gusts. They are messy but block the sun from the south...I’d die from heat without them.
